This is exactly the kind of content-rich 20m video I was looking for, 1-2hrs of work for a month's food prep. You toured through all the foods, leaving the details to written notes, provided your resources and products for fact-checking concerned parents. I greatly appreciate how thoughtful your content is, from title to video to notes. Thank you so much!

[@LP2488]

An idea to add some sweetness to oatmeal is by using the water from steaming/boiling any fruit like apples for instance can be the same water you use to cook the oatmeal. It's a natural sweetener and you don't need to worry about it doing harm to your baby.

[@blacklion5436]

ohh thank you good idea 😎😘

[@LP2488]

@@blacklion5436 No problem! We do this and save the water for oatmeals or to sweeten anything else baby would eat. No granulated or any type of sugar needed.

My little boy is 7months old now and it's sooo overwhelming to know when, how and what to give him. Thanks for these VERY useful tips and videos! So grateful!

[@alexisvillarreal5862]

This has come in handy going through what we’re going through now with all these baby food brands not being safe or healthy for our precious babies. Thank you! 💜

[@SakuraButterfly13]

My baby is turning 7 months and so far she’s been loving avocados, carrots, apples, bananas and squash. She’s not a huge fan of potatoes but this video is helping me find more foods to try out with her. Thank you! ☺️

[@christinapiva7846]

Thank you for the meal prep guide! Very helpful, my daughter is 3 months atm, so will be starting all this soon. Appreciate all the effort you put into your content.

[@deannmichele6466]

If you would have told me that I was seriously considering making my own baby food, I'd of laughed at you. I guess I have evolved. 40yrs old about to give birth to baby number 4, and I can't get enough of your videos. Subscribed.

Food processor. I used one for both my kids. Easy as pie. Whatver we had for every meal they had the same thing too. No matter what it was. Roast mac and cheese spegetti lasagna pancakes biscuit and gravy. It all went in the food processor. ❤

[@uzihsn]

Amazing as always ! Sage is very lucky to have you as her mother. You know the art of making things easier for other moms ❤️

[@shadurg]

Great video! FYI - studies show that heating breastmilk beyond 110•F significantly detoriates all of its good nutrients. Adding the breast milk in just before serving is the best way to optimize all those nutrients rather than using it as a liquid to cook with.

[@HealthNutNutrition]

Thank you for letting me know! I use to just add it in at the end so I’ll go back to that!

[@mamakaluba4921]

Hi Nikole. I’m from South Africa (all the way down on the African map) and I’ve been watching your videos to prep for my own baby. I never ever comment on KZbin but you have been so helpful. Thank you

So grateful for these videos, it’s really easing my stress and worries and general cluelessness about my daughters fast impending weaning!

[@buffpanda527]

The square silicone ice cube trays at walmart for like $4 (and somilar everywhere else) are basically 1oz portion exactly. I would freeze everything in those and pop them out as needed to make food mixes or pop them out and store them in containers if i needed more trays. Easier to know what portions and how much baby is eating.

[@lilyelias1048]

How do you heat from frozen pls?

[@buffpanda527]

@@lilyelias1048 just thaw or microwave in 15sec increments and mix/mash in-between each increment to avoid scalding spots in the baby food. Mix in cereal powders if using them (or formula for older baby) after its warmed up. All your food should be precooked prior to being frozen to reduce bacteria.

[@jenheslink1191]

Thank you so much for all of this!!! My babe is 6 months and I have loved making all his baby food so far but was looking for some better ways to prep it and keep it a little longer!

[@Ashtonyoutube]

Congratulations🎉 I hope your baby is doing well then :) Do you have any tips as a parent? Like specific brands, strollers, toys, clothes, foods, ect? I need advice, Thanks!🙂

Thank you for this! We just started solids and since my husband and I eat a lot of spicy and salty food so it just makes more sense to meal prep baby food. This is so helpful.

[@tatyanapreston6075]

This has been super helpful. My daughter is 8 months. And I feel like we're late to the baby led feeding game. But last week has been amazing. Im cooking breakfast, lunch and dinner for her. And she's feeding herself. She loves sweet potatoes, peas and my homemade apple sause

[@melinaborin3020]

Really good video. Healthy and easy food. I used to do almost the same for my first daughter. She loves brocoli, rice and beans since 6 months now she is almost 3 years old and still love that. In 5 months I will start feeding my second daughter. One thing I didn't see was about how long is good to keep food in the refrigerator and when I did research fir my first baby it was 3 days in the fridge and 3 months in the freezer. Also about breast milk just added when baby will eat.

[@celesteio]

Im second time mom, my daughter is 5 months old and I started her with baby cereal but I have four weeks to introduce new foods and then I will do all these, I feel like a first time mom, I forgot what I did first time, but this video makes it so simple. Thank you 😊

[@busymama5866]

This was PERFECT timing! Gearing up to feed my almost 6 month old. :) I mostly did prepackaged baby food for my last two babies as I was a working mama and didn’t take the time to prepare much. Now I’m a new SAHM and want to spoil my last baby with the best food possible! This was great!
